A little background about the Brooklyn Nets and why they’re the fanbase who deserves Cooper Flagg the most…
- The closest thing the Nets have ever had to a homegrown star is Brook Lopez.
- Brooklyn has not selected in the lottery since 2010 when they fell from 1st (Wall) to 3rd (Favors) after going just 12-70.
- The Nets have not had the #1 pick since 2000 (Kenyon Martin), which was a historically weak draft.
- The Nets, an ABA powerhouse, had to forfeit Julius Erving upon entering the NBA.
- The Nets lost one of their franchise greats, Drazen Petrovic, to tragedy.
- Brooklyn’s “once in a generation” team fell victim to a once in a generation pandemic and unfortunate injury luck.
This has been a franchise littered with misfortune over the years. It’s time for that luck to change.
If you can sit down, watch this and not think Emily Armstrong is the perfect fit for the new direction Linkin Park are headed then I can only assume you are deaf
She is incredible! 🔥
@BasketballAus Bronze last Olympics, regressed to quarters here. Then it’s more regression the next few cycles with the new roster. Also Goorjian is not the right guy to lead them.
There had been some speculation about why he had been wearing sunglasses and whether there was an issue with his eyes, but that was related to the Bell’s Palsey — which impacts facial muscles in one-half of face. Embiid had 50 points in Game 3 victory over Knicks tonight.
